Seeing a densely patched blade of grass being held in the hands of two people, it looked magical. Wen Li couldn't help but stepped forward, wanting to see for himself the power of this grass armor. The two men still lowered their heads, but unexpectedly
The leader was close to him, but suddenly he pulled out a long sword from the waist of the guard beside him, and with a "snap" sound, he slashed hard on the armor.
The two tightened their hands and grabbed the armor firmly, only to see that the blade of grass was undamaged, not even a small hole was broken.
Wen Li smiled and turned his wrist, causing the sharpest edge of the sword to stab at the blades of grass. Unexpectedly, the seemingly soft armor suddenly became strong the moment it touched the tip of the sword, and the sword was broken no matter how hard it was drilled.
not open.
The woman among the two finally couldn't stand it any longer, so she let out a low cry of "Ah" and let go of her fingers, and the grass blades floated out in the direction of the sword thrust. But the armor was still a complete piece of armor.
It fell to the ground silently, but still intact.
"good!"
Admiring in a low voice, Wen Li nodded with satisfaction. He picked up the powerful piece of armor and held it in his hands, still praising him secretly in his heart. When the two leaders of the Cuiyun Sect saw the leader, their joy was beyond words.
, feeling overjoyed in their hearts, they looked at each other and lowered their heads quietly. Visitors from various sects present were also whispering to each other and full of praise.
The leader looked around at everyone, held up the armor, and said loudly: "What the Cuiyun Sect presented today is actually a great contribution to the West Lake. From now on, if my Mi Yu soldiers go into battle, they will all be able to wear this armor."
Wouldn't it be possible to protect thousands of lives of Mi Yu's descendants and make them invincible and unstoppable?" After saying this, he couldn't help but laugh heartily again.
When the visitors from other sects saw this, they all stood up and came forward, rolled up their sleeves and saluted: "The leader is blessed! The people are lucky!"
Just looking at the two people from the Cuiyun Sect again, they looked at each other and seemed to have troubled expressions. Seeing this, Wen Li smiled kindly, patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "What difficulty do you two senior Cuiyun have?
It doesn’t hurt to say so.”
"Yes." Gritting her teeth, the woman took a step forward and spoke, "Back to the leader, although the wind blade grass armor is good, it is very rare. These grasses seem to be born to avoid human traces, and they are the same as those in paddy fields.
The weeds are all mixed together, they are the same, and it is difficult to find if you are not careful. Even if you find it, only the weak stems and leaves of the wind blade are exposed on the ground. If you want to find the tough roots, you have to dig three feet in the ground, hold your breath and enter the water.
, only then can we find one or two by luck."
"The armor in front of me now is the result of my father going deep into the paddy fields in the name of me, and it took him six years to collect all the blades of grass. The two of us also invited Cuiyun's most skillful man Jiujiu
An embroiderer, who sewed it non-stop for three months... Master, although this armor can withstand swords, it will take some time until all the soldiers in West Lake wear armor."
Hearing this, Wen Li flicked his sleeves: "Is it so rare?"
"Yes... the villain is incompetent, please forgive me, Master."
"That's serious." The young leader waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. Then he raised his eyes and asked, "Where is your father now?"
Hearing Wen Li's question, the two people suddenly had red eyes and shed tears: "Back to the boss, when my late father went to Lirong Mountain with the boss four years ago, unfortunately... the unfortunate guest died on that Dongshan Mountain.
!" After saying that, they both knelt on the ground with a "plop" and burst into tears.
In the battle at Zili Rong Mountain, West Lake suffered countless casualties. Many well-known masters in the world suffered injuries to their internal strength and bones, and even lost their lives on the mountain. Unfortunately, the head of Cuiyun Mountain passed away, and each sect knew about it, but unexpectedly, that The leader who was supposed to be half a century old actually left such a rare treasure for West Lake before leaving.
Thinking of this, the sound of sobbing and sobbing could be heard in the main hall. They must be seeing things and missing people, and it is difficult to control themselves.
Wen Li stood among the crowd, knowing that although these seniors were crying and crying on the surface, in fact they had their own ideas in their hearts. Just when he was praising the toughness of the armor, he had already caught a glimpse of someone in the palace who was full of dissatisfaction. The look in his eyes, what's more, his eyeballs could literally be on fire - the Cuiyun sect suddenly presented a strange object at the Xiaochao meeting and stole the show. How could other sects be convinced?
Only by promoting them first and then demoting them, until Cuiyun and the two of them tell the truth on their own that blades of grass are hard to find and armor is hard to make, can the indignation of everyone in the audience be eased slightly.
"Master..." I saw the Cuiyun woman stopped crying slightly, stepped forward again, knelt on one knee, and raised the straw armor above her head, "My father's wish during his lifetime was to make this armor and give it to Master. Now that my late father has no chance to come to the court, I would like to ask the master to accept this gift, so that the two of us can comfort my father’s spirit in heaven..."
After saying that, he knelt down on his knees, his elbows were shaking slightly, and he burst into tears.
As soon as Wen Li raised his hand, a guard immediately took the straw armor and handed it to the leader. Gently stroking the slightly prickly straw armor, Wen Li shook his head and said slowly: "I, Mi Yu, To be able to obtain such a loyal and good man is really the blessing of the first master, and Li Sansheng is lucky. However, Li is still young and has few talents and knowledge, and he is not enough to shoulder the painstaking efforts of the master Cuiyun..." After saying this, he sighed softly again.
Seeing this, Cuiyun and the others hurriedly walked forward on their knees and put their hands on the ground: "Master! Please accept it, master!"
When these two people cried bitterly, the main hall involuntarily returned to its previous quietness. Each sect held its breath and waited for Wen Li's reaction. If Wen Li refused to accept it at this time, it would inevitably appear cold and ruthless; but If he really accepts it, in the eyes of those seniors who are very old and have followed the previous leader for many years, they will inevitably have the intention to seize the treasure because of their lack of talent and morality. At this moment, even Ruo Dongjing, who is watching by, can't help but pinch him. A sweat.
Just when Mr. Ruo was about to stand up and speak, he saw Wen Li handing the straw armor back to the waiter's hands. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and kept whimpering. "Headmaster Cuiyun has worked hard and with a good heart. Suffering, Li has no merit for his ancestors, and he feels really guilty! Although this armor is light, it is condensed with the hard work of Cui Yun for generations, and Li dare not bear it..." After saying that, he faced the sky again, covered his face and cried.
Before anyone could say anything else, the leader looked up to the sky and sighed, and said slowly: "Li has made up his mind. Li Wan does not dare to take possession of the grass armor presented by the Cuiyun Sect today. If he wants to live up to Cui, Due to the kindness between Senior Yun and the previous leader, this gift must be used to benefit all over the West Lake. From today on, no matter whether it is the Tianke Residence, the General's Mansion, or any sect, anyone who has made great achievements in the West Lake can come here. A. Whoever has made great contributions will leave his name in history and be admired by everyone. Li will reward this person as a token of encouragement!"
In this way, everyone in the palace was convinced when they heard the words. So they all stood up, kowtowed forward and said: "I am willing to obey the master's order!"
The two people sitting at the head of the hall now, Ruo Dong and Shen Xuanming, were secretly shocked, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, although the current leader Wen is not yet young, he already has a unique demeanor.
But with just a few words, he quietly resolved the whirlpool of undercurrents swimming around him.
Just as the ministers were secretly admiring each other, they suddenly heard a trembling call from the corner of the hall: "Master..."
Everyone looked around and saw an old man with gray hair and a shaggy beard on his chin. He walked slowly towards the front of the hall with his waist bent: "Master, I have something to say. I wonder if the master is willing to listen to it?" The face of this old man.
Strangers, most of the younger members of the palace didn’t know each other, and various sects couldn’t help but start talking about him.
But he saw Wen Li hurriedly stood up and walked forward quickly: "It turns out to be Senior Yan, the 'lone traveler'! If senior has any instructions, Li... ahem... you should listen attentively."
"Okay, let me tell you straight." People saw this old man Yan stroking his beard, his body straight, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and he looked even stronger than the leader. Old Yan narrowed his eyes.
Eyes, he slowly said, "The master has the intention to give this straw armor to a man with outstanding achievements and both ability and political integrity in Xihu. It shows the master's broad mind and I admire him. It's just that the master said that he is a guest from heaven, and the general's mansion and each sect have their own.
Everyone can come and get it, but it would be inappropriate - once this order is issued, if it causes everyone in the West Lake to scramble for it, make their eyes red, and hurt their harmony, what should we do?"
It is indeed true - this old man Yan spoke without mercy, but he also hit the nail on the head. Everyone present could not help but admire this old man. Wen Li stepped forward and said:
"Li is very talented and has little knowledge. I would like to thank my senior for your advice. I wonder if my senior has any magic tricks? Can you give me some advice?"
"I'm an incompetent old man. I'm used to being alone. I'm really not used to talking in front of so many people all of a sudden. Now that the leader has spoken, I'll tell you all about the methods that can't be brought to the table. Master.
Instead of recruiting talented and virtuous people after the court meeting and attracting tens of thousands of people to compete for them, why not let the knights, generals and sect leaders introduce each other to each other at the court meeting today?"
"Ah!" Wen Li suddenly realized, "Senior, are you saying that you were rewarded with this straw armor at today's court meeting?"
"exactly."
After listening to Senior Yan's idea, Wen Li was a little hesitant and couldn't help but think silently. If searching for aspiring people up and down the West Lake to reward this grass armor, he could temporarily get rid of the critical eyes staring at him -
—Then directly choosing one person from the Yaoguang Palace meeting puts the problem back into one's own hands.
It would be difficult for anyone to give this rare treasure in front of everyone.
Wen Li gritted his teeth and secretly clenched his fists. To this difficult problem, the young leader knew what the standard answer was—Mr. Tian Keju was well-known, well-informed, loyal to the first leader, and helped to unify the world for West Lake.
Thank you for your hard work. Rather than saying that these old ministers in the West Lake trust me, it is better to state the fact clearly - saying that they only let me ascend to the position of leader because they only looked at Mr. Ruo's face.
Thinking of this, Wen Li only felt an unbearable turbidity in his chest. He just promoted many young generals who had just emerged from Miyu Lake, but he made the elderly so dissatisfied. And now, these fathers are one by one.
The important ministers who have been carefully cultivated dare to threaten themselves in different ways at the court meeting!
In their eyes, I will always be a little kid. This leader who dominates the world is really a coward!
Head Wen Li knew in his heart that if he could say Ruo Dong's name smoothly, those seniors who were proud of their achievements would start talking in private that he had no backbone at all. Today he is going to do it
Let everyone see that he, Wen Li, the head of the Si Qi Zheng family, is by no means such a soft persimmon who is easy to bully.
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a vague smile.
If the people sitting in the hall could see the slight smile of Master Wen, they would definitely find that the young man's smile was exactly the same as that of "Duo Xin Zheng" back then. Wen Li sat up straight and looked clear.
The voice speaks authentically every word:
"What Senior Yan said is very reasonable. The elites from various factions gathered at the early winter meeting today are all loyal ministers who have made great contributions to West Lake. Instead of causing dissatisfaction after the court meeting, Li will now choose one of the people present here.
"You, sir, present the straw armor left by Master Cuiyun as a reward for your many years of fighting in all directions and unifying the eight tones for Miyu West Lake." After saying that, he slowly turned his eyes to Mr. Ruo who was sitting beside him.
He smiled and said:
"I don't know who you think this rare treasure should be given to, sir?"
